Horary reading

This is going to be a lengthy article and I hate writing them as much as I hate reading them, especially now that I have to deal with a lot in my personal life, but I consider it necessary.

Some time ago someone asked me why I don't do horary as a service if I do elections. I told the person I've not the experience to interpret a horary chart since I'm unfamiliar with all its many quirks and how they worth together. Truth be told I haven't found it necessary to go into it. But things may change at some point with recent events and a backstory is needed. 

A little over a month ago a man contacted me asking me to expose his ex wife's secrets to him, mostly those regarding their marital relationship. He and the woman divorced earlier this year and he had most of his reasons straightened, but his gut feeling told him there may be more to it than the accusations he held against her.

Tarot much?

Last month I got myself a Rider-Waite deck. It's my first tarot deck ever and I bought it while I'm halfway through my eleventh year of practice. I chose it because I'm most familiar with its cards and symbolism, having made use of them more than once in my work.

Some fanatics demand people get a tarot deck as soon as they begin their magical practice, making it seem indispensable to the work. It's not. It won't help you LBRP-ing yourself into exhaustion or in maintaining a constant regular practice. Quite the opposite, it can become addictive and distract you from magical work. So if you want to really practice the occult it's best to do the actual thing instead of wasting time playing with cards for trivialities.

It will help you in contemplating the symbolism behind the cards in order to better understand each of the forces they represent to a greater degree. It will help if using the cards as gateways to astral realms. Naturally, it will help if you want to learn, or become better at tarot divination.
